Kenyans living in Israel and Iran are set to be evacuated with immediate effect following the ongoing war between the two countries.

In a notice issued on Saturday, June 21, the State Department for Diaspora Affairs urged Kenyans to register their details for easier assistance. "For your safety and to ensure we can assist you promptly in case of any emergency or distress, we kindly ask you to register your details with the State Department for Diaspora Affairs," the department stated.

The department also shared links and contacts for Kenyans living in both Iran and Israel to register for evacuation.
